2025 SEC Championship Game: Alabama, Georgia set for rematch of Crimson Tide's regular-season win
While Georgia coach Kirby Smart has dominated just about every team he plays, Alabama remains his personal boogeyman. The Crimson Tide won each of those last two SEC Championship Game matchups and they have a 7-1 record against Smart, a former Nick Saban assistant.
No. 4 Georgia finished with an 11-1 record — its lone loss came against No. 10 Alabama back in September — and the Bulldogs will get a chance to exact some revenge on the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 6.
Georgia and Alabama already met earlier this season with the Crimson Tide winning 24-21 on the road. The defeat was Georgia's lone loss of the season. Alabama and Georgia have taken different paths to make the SEC championship, but both teams have played their best against ranked opposition this season.
